Maturation of an EMS Guru

Posted this on a Facebook thread, which I believe Tamara Keel calls, “pitching your best stuff at an away game.”

The Maturation of an EMS Guru:

1. “Who the hell is Kelly Grayson?”
2. “You know, Kelly Grayson. Writes a blog, occasionally amusing, thinks his personal feces are not odorific.”
3. “That Kelly Grayson guy can make some pretty good points now and then.”
4. “If Kelly Grayson says it, I’d pay attention. Guy has been doing this since you were in grade school, and he knows his stuff.”
5. “WWKD: What would Kelly do?”
6. “Who the hell does that new kid think he is, Kelly Grayson?”

If it were not for good friends putting up with me, and some respected EMS thinkers taking a chance on me, I’d have never progressed beyond Stage 2.
